Penelope Torribio's Lounge Discussions

I am writing a business plan for a puppet theater, museum and workshop space in Pomona, Ca. As there are much cross over with theater I was wondering if anyone in my area would be interested in talking about such a project? The focus is that all workshops and productions would fall under positive themes-like ecology, community gardens, non-violent communication. I would love some input. If interested you could visit http://1worldpuppetsforpeace.org P.S. I am a master puppeteer with 600 puppets from around the world, singer-songwriter with numerous albums, an author, a behavior transformation specialist and an educator with an M.A. in Education and credentials in Communication Arts, English and Special Education.

I became a puppeteer as I was looking for ways to reach and teach teens in danger to themselves and other. I learned to use and sometimes make all types of puppets. I perform a three hour marionette show of the Hindu epic of the Ramayana and I perform numerous interactive musical puppet shows where the audience become the puppeteer. I am also a singer-songwriter with 11 albums. Many of these came from my ecological shows. I perform in s. California and beyond. penelopetorribio.com. I am enjoying stage 32-thanks.
